The Ajna chakra is symbolized by a white lotus flower with two petals. The circle represents emptiness and the origin of all things, while the petals represent duality and the opposites of the feminine and masculine, and their fusion for higher consciousness. Therefore, we associate it with the third eye, which sees beyond.
The sixth chakra and its stones
Stones have great power on their own, but combining them with healing practices like yoga or meditation will achieve new levels of healing. We'll teach you all about the most effective crystals.
1. Characteristics of the Ajna chakra
Hindu tradition and yogic doctrine speak of the energy of consciousness and spirituality coming from the brow chakra. This is where our intuition, which allows us to know where we want to go, and our perception of the world, resides. The third eye is responsible for seeing the invisible and the unknown, and is the basis of wisdom. It represents inner light and inner consciousness, which is the complete opposite of the third chakra. Below are the main qualities of the sixth chakra:
Name: Brow chakra, third eye chakra, Ajna
Location: middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows (face, forehead, nose, eyes, ears, breast, neurological system)
Meaning: intuition
Endocrine gland: pituitary gland
Objective: To develop a sense of reverence for life and a sense of essence through the transformation of human perceptions.
Element: light
Color: indigo blue
Note: The
Positive: correct intuition, inner peace and calm, awareness of who we are, clarity, inspiration, broad vision, tolerance, disciplined imagination
Negative: High ego, fanaticism, poor memory, fanaticism, inferiority complex, fears, mentalization, arrogance, illusions
In short: Ajna awakens the development of the being, of the spiritual, of intuition, of memory, of creating, of the perception of the world
2. Ajna chakra balance
If there is an imbalance in the brow chakra, there will be an inability to believe in the “I am,” so the person may be attracted to good or evil.
On the one hand, if the ajna chakra is blocked, the person may neglect their spiritual side and experience depression or a lack of interest in the outside world, a lack of responsibility, and heightened selfishness. The person may fall into cults and other dogmatic aberrations.
On the other hand, if the sixth chakra is overactive, the person may also overanalyze everything to the point of confusion, develop a superiority complex, arrogance, and contempt. They may also convince others of their opinions and beliefs or fall into fanaticisms such as faith and religion.
But when the Ajna chakra is balanced, there is great gratitude for life, the moment is lived to the fullest, extrasensory abilities are developed, things are perceived subtly, and one acts with humility.
Some activities you can do to balance the sixth chakra include meditation and yoga, specifically in the fetal position, drinking tea and wine, eating blueberries, grapes, and spices, listening to relaxing music, using affirmations like "I am a being of light and love," using lavender or jasmine scents, and, of course, using stones that strengthen this chakra.
